The last couple of weeks I have noticed some white, cotton looking buds surrounding my star polyps in the morning before the tentacles come out. What is this. One person said they thought it was a sponge, another said it could be a sponge or a fungus. I've noticed on another rock with star polyps that they also have these q-tip cotton looking buds around the polyps.

I will try to post a link to my pics. Some of the pics are kind of blurred but I didn't know how to remove those from the album.

Thanks, Cindy
